Fling

Have you ever missed the simplicity of an USB Stick when sharing data over the net?

Zero-friction sharing is a surprisingly unsolved problem. There's no reasonably ubiquitous solution installed on everybody's machine. Online providers are often packed with features, but miss out on things like direct download urls, a space for others to easily upload to you, or require registration from all participants. I don't remember any of these things being a problem with USB 🤔.

Fling is a self-hosted file share. It is simple like USB without missing out on the good parts of the web:

  • Drop files on a fling and share the URL. That's it. The fling way of life.

Other features include:

  • Choose your own, meaningful name for your sharing URL
  • Share a direct download link
  • Choose to let others upload files just as simple
  • Protect your fling by a password - no registration required
  • Let a fling expire after a date or a number of clicks (or keep it forever)

Fling is a API

It gets even better!

Fling is a backend service and a web interface. But you can use anything else that speaks HTTP if you prefer. In fact, we generate and publish a javascript and python client for the Fling API on every build. If you like it bare-bones there is also a querysheet in the examples folder with raw HTTP calls.

Fling also has a code-first OpenAPI compliant spec. O mon Dieu, it just checks all the boxes!

Fling as a container

It gets even even better better!

Fling is self-hosted. But it is packaged up in a docker container for easy deployment. Run docker run --rm -p3000:3000 arminfriedl/fling and go to http://localhost:3000. Admin user is adminName:adminPassword.
